I don't think it's a good idea to duplicate the code from gdk_input_add_full()
just to avoid using a deprecated function.

The gtk_input_* gtk_idle_* gtk_timeout_* functions all should have been
deprecated, most likely, but it's too late to deprecate these commonly
used functions for 2.0.0 at this point. (Filed the issue as #71596 so
we don't forget about it in the future.)

Please note my comment on #52790 -- I think we need to hold off on all 
"remove deprecated functions" patches until after 2.0.0.
